What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

5.9 on the finger prick. A bit lower on the CGM and no scary spikes yesterday, just slow rises and falls as day progresses. Drops down below 4 overnight and I dearly wished it would stay there but sadly not.

A scary 3.4 this morning. I'm going to contact nurse at doctor's surgery on Tuesday and ask if I'm maybe wise to reduce some of my meds? I ate well yesterday, so it's not that.....all I can think of is the meds

7.8 at 6.54am.
This is really good for me.

5.9 this gorgeous morning. Off to the gym soon….it was closed yesterday for floor waxing and I hope there’s no residual smell.
Ate two very small plums snitched off the neighbours tree…not a good idea.

My mum's plum tree is very bountiful this year. I'm hoping she doesn't give me too many next time I visit!

11.0 today. Forcing down some pâté dropped it to 9.0 in an hour. Going to have to keep up this habit no matter how painful :/

I feel this right now. I am struggling and feel very overwhelmed. But I know I have to keep going and turn it around.

Is there anything particular you are struggling with?

Thanks @philly1991

I'm struggling with most of life but the specific problem above is that I hate eating in the mornings, in fact my body isn't comfortable with food until about 4pm. But eating a snack when I get up stops my liver producing more glucose. I don't want double figure BGs all day if I can drop them by eating, but it's quite a battle to force food into my mouth.

Maybe if I do it every day I'll get used to it? Time will tell...
